Oh, California.

There is a reason it is so crowded and people write entire songs about it or create entire movies based in California.

It has everything.

Mountains and beach. Snow and desert. North and South. White trash and hippies. People from all over the world with languages to match. Different healing modalities and beliefs, all making California the beautiful, diverse, complex place that it is.

The natural beauty in Northern California is inspiring and the temperate climate in Southern California is comforting.

Okay, so it's great here.

But that's not even getting into the spiritual diversity of the state. With people hailing from all over the world and an especially dense population of hippies, California offers a true religious and spiritual freedom that you may not find anywhere else.

Needless to say, when it comes to gaining spiritual direction, you've basically got the GPS settings in California.

California is the perfect place for spiritual renewal.

Many of these types of retreats will include guided meditations, as well. A dedicated meditation practice can help you stay focused on your spiritual journey without giving in to all of the crazy stressors of daily life. So yeah, a detox retreat can make serious room for spiritual growth.
